CHAPTER XIII THE OCCUPATION OF SOUTHERN THESSALY Fortunately for the Greeks neither Hakki nor Memdoukh had pushed sufficiently forward to enable them to effectively cut the line of retreat on Lamia. The reason of this was that the country over which they had to march was extremely mountainous and intersected by steep narrow ravines. It was necessary to keep their artillery with them, as they might meet with the entire force of the Hellenic army, and to do this they had to make long and tedious circuits. The consequence was that only Memdoukh's advanced skirmishers came into contact with the enemy, who marched rapidly along the only road, and the Turks were thus unable to come to really close quarters or to inflict any permanent damage; also their approach hastened the Greek flight. What advantage was taken of the Domoko victory was entirely due to the initiative of Hamdi and Sefulat Pashas. Hamdi, as we know, had occupied the lower hills to the east of Domoko on the evening of the 17th, and was there much nearer to the road than any of the other Turkish troops. Sefulat, who was now chief of the General Staff, quickly saw this, and immediately came to the 6th Division and urged Hamdi to take up the pursuit, it being at that time difficult to communicate with Edhem, who was some miles away. It was, however, impossible for Hamdi to advance at once, as his troops were tired out, and had barely eaten for twenty-four hours. But he ordered four battalions to commence the march at 6 A.M., and lent Sefulat his cavalry (one squadron) and one battery. Sefulat had also collected two more squadrons on his way to Hamdi, and with this force he prepared to follow up the entire Greek army. Starting at dawn on the 18th he pushed on with all speed, and by...

Download or read book A Military History of the Ottomans written by Mesut Uyar Ph.D. and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2009-09-23 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ottoman Army had a significant effect on the history of the modern world and particularly on that of the Middle East and Europe. This study, written by a Turkish and an American scholar, is a revision and corrective to western accounts because it is based on Turkish interpretations, rather than European interpretations, of events. As the world's dominant military machine from 1300 to the mid-1700's, the Ottoman Army led the way in military institutions, organizational structures, technology, and tactics. In decline thereafter, it nevertheless remained a considerable force to be counted in the balance of power through 1918. From its nomadic origins, it underwent revolutions in military affairs as well as several transformations which enabled it to compete on favorable terms with the best of armies of the day. This study tracks the growth of the Ottoman Army as a professional institution from the perspective of the Ottomans themselves, by using previously untapped Ottoman source materials. Additionally, the impact of important commanders and the role of politics, as these affected the army, are examined. The study concludes with the Ottoman legacy and its effect on the Republic and modern Turkish Army. This is a study survey that combines an introductory view of this subject with fresh and original reference-level information. Divided into distinct periods, Uyar and Erickson open with a brief overview of the establishment of the Ottoman Empire and the military systems that shaped the early military patterns. The Ottoman army emerged forcefully in 1453 during the siege of Constantinople and became a dominant social and political force for nearly two hundred years following Mehmed's capture of the city. When the army began to show signs of decay during the mid-seventeenth century, successive Sultans actively sought to transform the institution that protected their power. The reforms and transformations that began frist in 1606successfully preserved the army until the outbreak of the Ottoman-Russian War in 1876. Though the war was brief, its impact was enormous as nationalistic and republican strains placed increasing pressure on the Sultan and his army until, finally, in 1918, those strains proved too great to overcome. By 1923, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk emerged as the leader of a unified national state ruled by a new National Parliament. As Uyar and Erickson demonstrate, the old army of the Sultan had become the army of the Republic, symbolizing the transformation of a dying empire to the new Turkish state make clear that throughout much of its existence, the Ottoman Army was an effective fighting force with professional military institutions and organizational structures.

Download or read book That Greece Might Still be Free written by William St. Clair and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2008 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When in 1821, the Greeks rose in violent revolution against the rule of the Ottoman Turks, waves of sympathy spread across Western Europe and the United States. More than a thousand volunteers set out to fight for the cause. The Philhellenes, whether they set out to recreate the Athens of Pericles, start a new crusade, or make money out of a war, all felt that Greece had unique claim on the sympathy of the world. As Byron wrote, 'I dreamed that Greece might Still be Free'; and he died at Missolonghi trying to translate that dream into reality. William St Clair's meticulously researched and highly readable account of their aspirations and experiences was hailed as definitive when it was first published. Long out of print, it remains the standard account of the Philhellenic movement and essential reading for any students of the Greek War of Independence, Byron, and European Romanticism. Its relevance to more modern ethnic and religious conflicts is becoming increasingly appreciated by scholars worldwide. This new and revised edition includes a new Introduction by Roderick Beaton, an updated Bibliography and many new illustrations.
